Given Garfield’s long history it’s hard to imagine a film about the corpulent cat that feels as if it’s made for almost nobody, but “The Garfield Movie” limbos under the bar. Big and loud, with animated action aimed at kids, the film also loads up references to things like “Mission: Impossible,” “Top Gun” and “Fargo” and still manages to feel as stale as a week-old lasagna left out too long in the summer.
鉴于加菲猫的悠久历史，很难想象一部关于这只肥胖猫的电影，感觉好像是为几乎没有人制作的，但《加菲猫》电影在酒吧下徘徊。这部电影又大又吵，动画动作针对儿童，还引用了《碟中谍》、《壮志凌云》和《冰血暴》等电影，但仍然感觉像夏天放得太久的过了一周的千层面一样陈旧。
Part heist movie, part family reunion, the film draws upon the most salient characteristics of the flabby feline, but mostly as an excuse to build a story that seems to crawl further from its origins with every passing frame. A bevy of star voices (Chris Pratt leading the way in the title role, along with Samuel L. Jackson) can’t enliven a project that, creatively speaking, exhausts at least four or five of its nine lives.
这部电影一半是抢劫片，一半是家庭团聚片，它利用了软弱无力的猫科动物最突出的特征，但主要是为了建立一个故事，这个故事似乎每过一帧，就会离它的起源更远。一群明星配音(克里斯·普拉特 (Chris Pratt) 领衔主演，塞缪尔·杰克逊 (Samuel L. Jackson) 配音)无法使这个项目变得生动起来，从创意上讲，这个项目至少耗尽了它的九条命中的四条或五条。
Peaking during a pre-credit sequence, the film introduces a big-eyed baby Garfield (those plush toys aren’t going to sell themselves) who gets abandoned by his dad, Vic (Jackson), a resourceful outdoor cat, and taken home by Jon (Nicholas Hoult), who even adopts Odie the dog to keep him company.
在片头字幕前，影片引入了一个大眼睛的婴儿加菲猫(那些毛绒玩具不会自己卖出去)，他被爸爸维克(杰克逊饰)抛弃了，维克是一只足智多谋的户外猫，被乔恩(尼古拉斯·霍尔特饰)带回家，乔恩甚至收养了狗欧迪来陪伴他。
Flash forward several years, and the grown and well-fed Garfield has his suburban bliss upended when he’s abducted (catnapped?) by Jinx (Hannah Waddingham, in a mini-“Ted Lasso” reunion with Brett Goldstein as one of her hench cats), using him as bait to lure Vic out of hiding and exact revenge.
几年后，吃饱喝足的成年加菲尔德被金克斯(汉娜·沃丁汉姆饰)绑架(被诱拐?)，他原本在郊区过着幸福的生活，却被金克斯彻底颠覆，她利用加菲尔德作为诱饵，引诱维克现身并实施报复。金克斯和布雷特·戈尔茨坦饰演她的心腹猫，上演了一出迷你版的《泰德·拉索》。

Said revenge involves forcing Vic and the resentful Garfield to team up on a milk heist from Lactose Farms, a setup that should make even dairy enthusiasts feel a trifle intolerant. In the process they encounter a lovelorn bull (Ving Rhames) and a security guard (Cecily Strong) named Marge who sure sounds a whole lot like her “Fargo” namesake.
报复手段包括迫使维克和愤恨的加菲尔德联手从乳糖农场盗窃牛奶，这个场景甚至会让那些乳制品爱好者感到有点无法忍受。在此过程中，他们遇到了一头失恋的公牛(文·拉姆斯饰)和一名名叫玛吉的保安(塞西莉·斯特朗饰)，她听起来确实很像她的《冰血暴》同名角色。
A lot more happens, but it’s all a transparent ploy to keep the audience distracted long enough for Garfield and Vic to engage in family bonding, and squabble over their “The Aristocats”-style differences, which proves less heartwarming than intended.
还有很多事情发生，但这一切都是一种透明的策略，让观众分心足够长的时间，让加菲尔德和维克进行家庭聚会，并就他们的“贵族猫”式的分歧争吵，这证明比预期的更不温暖。
Part of the inherent challenge has to do with the demands of taking the simplicity of the original “Garfield” comic strip and blowing it up into something that can sustain this kind of enterprise, a task that feels especially thorny in this case.
部分固有的挑战与将原始“加菲猫”漫画的简洁性放大到可以维持这种企业的要求有关，在这种情况下，这项任务尤其棘手。
Traditionally, parents have looked for movies they can safely take kids to during the summer, and barring a few mildly racier gags, “Garfield” meets those modest criteria, at least, until reinforcements like the “Inside Out” and “Despicable Me” sequels arrive.
传统上，父母会寻找一些在夏天可以放心带孩子去看的电影，除了少数稍微有点刺激的插科打诨，《加菲猫》至少符合这些适度的标准，直到《头脑特工队》和《神偷奶爸》等续集到来。
For anyone with an appetite for more than air conditioning and a PG rating, though, “The Garfield Movie” is more like a stale snack than a fancy feast.
不过，对于那些对空调和PG级以上感兴趣的人来说，《加菲猫电影》更像是一种过时的零食，而不是一场盛大的宴会。
“The Garfield Movie” premieres May 24 in US theaters. It’s rated PG.
《加菲猫》电影将于5月24日在美国影院首映。该片被评为PG级。
